Sunday Reflection (February 6, 2022)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboFor almost 2,000 years, Christ’s Church continues a tradition through its proclamation: The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the resurrection, we find a glimpse of what the future holds for human history. It is not gloom and doom, it is resurrection and life: Christ came to bring us life in the midst of our sin and failures, as individuals and as societies. Paul, and we, proclaim the tradition of the earliest Christians (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
The resurrection tells us that the last word is God’s victory of love over hatred, kindness over malice, and life over death. This is indeed our proclamation! Only the future proves the truth of the resurrection, but in the meantime, we embrace the life and love that flows from God to us because Jesus rose from the dead.
Prayer for the Week (February 6, 2022-February 12, 2022)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray that we love God in our hearts and in our actions: Almighty God, you have called us to serve you, yet without your grace we are not able to please you. Mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit, who leads us in the way of Christ, direct and rule our hearts in all things. Amen.
Sunday Reflection (January 30, 2022)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane Palumboas Paul describes a Christian? What are the attributes of a person who follows Christ? It is love and compassion (1 Corinthians 13).
When love and compassion do not arise from your heart, ask yourself why. Then, ask the Holy Spirit to help you to grow in love and compassion that come from God. The Holy Spirit enables us to live the Christian description of love and compassion in whatever we say and in whatever we do.
